From your book, John thought he learned something about the world - not of my parents but of my grandparents - my parents were the radicals in our family and were the ones who mounted the barricades- and recognized the California of the sixties that Eve Pell had found and to which he had introduced Lew when they were both young poets in LA. I thought the book beautiful, heartbreaking, and yes, I admire the grit it took to write, to publish, and to honor a family tradition that did teach, no matter what else was lacking - just that quality - which can lead to valuing and pursuing just what one alone can do.

BTW, I spoke to Eve while I was researching the Ramparts book.
